Dad-of-one Bailey shot to fame this week on Married At First Sight, but before trying to find love on the show, he was in an open relationship with his ex-fiancee, Lulu.
The Sun previously revealed how, despite a set of rules being in place for that relationship, Bailey “didn’t always follow them.”
A source close to the former couple told The Sun: “Those close to Bailey and his ex-fiancé know that the relationship was not monogamous, and as it was an open relationship, both parties
hooked up with other people at different times throughout their partnership.
“The couple had some rules in the relationship, and Bailey didn’t always follow them, but has taken accountability for his mistakes and openly talks about them on MAFS UK.”
They continued to add: “He and his ex-partner remain friends, and there is a mutual respect between them. They shared some amazing experiences together and continue to support each other.
“All will be revealed on MAFS."
Now Bailey's ex Lulu, who shares a child with the MAFS star, posted several messages on her Instagram Stories, about a past relationship "almost destroying" her.
The posts read: "Do you know how strong you have to be to heal from wounds caused by someone who swore they loved you?
"Do you know how strong you have to be to still radiate love, even after everything you've been through?
"Do you know how strong you have to be to believe in love again after the last time nearly destroyed you?

"May you attract someone who treats you like they've been waiting their whole life to find you.
"Loyal behind my back… that's my type.
"I hope you find someone who hate's hurting your heart."
With this in mind, Lulu may have been pleased to see that her ex fiance Bailey's MAFS wedding didn't get off to the best start.

“It’ll be fireworks as normal…” TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise hints explosive reunion with ex Dan Edgar after emotional split… as rumours swirl he’s already moved on with Chloe Lewis in one of Essex’s most dramatic love sagas yet - suong
It's been the TOWIE storyline that played out for over a year but it seems that Ella Rae Wise and Dan Edgar's relationship finally came to an end before her Celebrity Big Brother stint.
Since then, Dan's rumoured to have moved on with former TOWIE star Chloe Lewis and viewers have seen Ella break down in tears about their split.
In the latest episode, Ella asked, 'If you can move on that quick and you can give someone else something that you couldn't give me, then what was wrong with me?'
She then told her BFF Dani Imbert, 'I don't even want to cry because he's not even worth my tears. I've cried too much.
'It wasn't like I left him because I wanted to leave him because I didn't want to be with me, I left him because I wanted to feel something - a bit of want from him and I never had that and now you're wanting someone else.'
Well, now it seems that she's over their relationship because during an exclusive chat on the red carpet at the NTAs, she told Closer Online, 'It's not awkward [between us] at all.
'Me and Dan have left it as friends which is good. As soon as I see him, I'm sure it'll be fireworks as normal.'
Err, what about Chloe Lewis?
Throughout Ella and Dan's relationship they kept talking about their sexual tension and it sounds like that hasn't gone anywhere...
We're sure viewers will see Ella and Dan get their friendship back on track in upcoming episodes but first we're set to see Dan confront Harry Derbidge after the Essex OG revealed he saw Dan on a double date with Diags and Jodie Wells.
And speaking of upcoming episodes, Ella opened up about what's in store for the current season and admitted, 'Series 36 has not even started for me yet, it's just about to.
'There's more drama, a lot more tears and to be fair a lot of happiness towards the end.'
